Anti-choice politicians in the state are also pushing a "personhood" ballot initiative, a 20-week abortion ban, and - in case they hadn't driven the point home already - a TRAP bill aimed at closing the last remaining abortion provider in the state.

North Dakota & Arkansas are examples of the deplorable situation in Statehouses. Forty-five of the 50 Governors are MEN and of the 5 women only ONE is a Democrat (NH). Republican MEN overwhelmingly CONTROL state legislatures also. Also nationwide, Republicans are doubling-up on making sure women stay PREGNANT & AT HOME, and thus are pushing anti-abortion measures furiously, because they are ANGRY that they are now destined for defeat on their OTHER "darling issue of the past 4 decades, KEEPING GAYS from marrying! MORE WOMEN NEED TO RUN FOR STATE SENATE & HOUSE SEATS, especially in "RED" states!

There was a study which appeared to find a link between the availability of abortion in various states, and a reduction in juvenile crime rates at just about the time that would coincide with the reduction in unwanted births.
Conceivably, if North Dakota and Arkansas succeed in setting the laws back, in ten to 18 years from now, we might find a statistical rise in juvenile crime to support the impression made by the previous study.
Provided, of course, that there be no reason to suppose that these states merely became moreattractive to juvenile criminals.

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty
fast. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?
With thanks
